''Alright ladies and gentleman before we start today's match, we would like to talk a bit about the woman of the match.'' Press announces as she walks onto the makeshift stage knowing they can easily roll it off the second they are done.

''The Angels and our fans had the honor to watch her fight hard and win almost every match the past seven almost eight years, those years were filled with amazing goals, some scares due to tackles but also a lot of celebrations like winning most tournaments thanks to her and entering first division, also fighting hard to stay in it for six years in a row now.''

''Before she joined the Angels, she was the star player of Orlando Pride. Right after college she got drafted and she made such an impact on not only our players but also Orlando's players that she still is our one and only Phoenix till this day.''

''She graduated with honors and the college coach didn't want to let her go, but she decided to continue her soccer career with Pride and after two years she transferred to the Angels.'' Press continues. ''That makes three teams, two coaches that didn't want to see her go and one coach, me that is sad to see her go but I can understand it after eleven years of playing.''

''I had the honor to play with her and to coach her, together with Emslie we were the three musketeers of the soccer world. The minute Ames joined our tactic changed for the better and we found each other blindly using a formation no other team ever did, now that I am coaching this team, she was my right hand and my go to person for advice because she observed and just knew what would be the best decision for us.''

''She won't leave the soccer world entirely behind her though.'' Chris reassures with a grin as she watches Brittany walk out onto the field with both teams. ''She will continue coaching the little Angels and run the mini Angels together with Ames, aside from that she will also stay my go to partner for advice so she has a lot to say about this team too.''

''She just returned this morning from her last National tournament which of course ended in a win thanks to several amazing goals from Phoenix, she not only brought that trophy home this year but she also was the woman of our tournament, the woman of this season and the star player of the California, New York battle.''

''We saw many tricks, a lot of amazing goals and god knows how many times she saved our butts because she managed to sprint from the opponents goal back to ours and keep our goal clear.'' Press glances at Brittany and chuckles. ''During the match it mostly doesn't look spectacular, but watching a recording of the match showed all of us a lot of times just how much energy Brittany put into her matches.''

''Her motivation and energy went over to us the second we hit the field, during bad times, she was there to motivate us with speeches or be the clown we absolutely loved from day one to distract us.'' She continues as Natalie and Sue walk over. ''We will definitely miss her on this field but she will still be a part of the Angels no matter what happens, before we call her up here Natalie, Sue and Jill would like to say something too.''

Brittany licks her lips as she watches the three women step onto the stage and smiles as Sue shoots her a wink, she laughs as Chris sprints over to her and stumbles back as she tackles her in a hug. ''Thanks Chris.'' She whispers as she kisses her cheek hearing the fans around them cheer loudly the second their eyes land on her.

''Did you look around?'' Chris asks softly, she mentions her hand around them as she shakes her head and smiles slightly. ''Look at all shirts B, they all flew here for you the second it got known that it was your farewell match everyone.'' She rubs her back as she pulls out of the hug hearing Sue clear her throat and smiles. ''The big screen outside is also watched from several cars, the car park is filled.''

Brittany just shakes her head in amazement and turns to Sue, she laughs as she rolls her eyes and raises her hands in surrender. Sue laughs and shakes her head. ''Done distracting each other?'' She clears her throat again as they nod their heads and snickers. ''That will never change, the second the both of you met you always managed to distract each other and turn into a bunch of clowns.''

''That was the start of a beautiful friendship though.'' She continues as she watches Amelia, Emslie and Press sandwich Brittany between them. ''Before I talk about my time coaching, I would like to give Jill the chance to speak first.''

Jill takes the microphone she holds out for her and looks at the blonde with striking blue eyes. ''Brittany.'' She starts. ''The whole soccer world is sad to see you go, but we can all understand that with the years and the amount of energy you put into your plays that your body starts to protest.''

''Just yesterday I once again had the honor to watch the fight you carry with you, our final plays against Canada are never easy and everyone knows but you motivated the whole team and after you opened the score with a beautiful scorpion kick five minutes in everyone fed off of your energy and matched it.''

''It was beautiful to see them go from defending to attacking within minutes after the goal, you made some beautiful assists yesterday and scored twice yourself. I think the match ending 5 against 2 shows us how much you wanted this last trophy to your name, you never start things you can't finish and you want to end your career successfully and you did.''

''I absolutely loved coaching you and the success you made with the National team will always stand in the history books, during your time National you broke several world records but my favorite memory will always be the amazing throw in made possible by your eldest son and the speed you had to sprint across the field take the assist from Press and kick us to the finals with that last goal ensuring us the win against Scotland.''

''This tournament you broke another National world record.'' She chuckles as she watches her frown in confusion and winks. ''You broke Press's record of most goals scored during the tournament, five years ago Press broke the record with twelve goals in one tournament, yesterday you added two on top of the thirteen you already scored and now your name is known as top scorer with fifteen goals!''

''It was an honor to coach and watch you grow Brittany, I wish you nothing but the best and thank you for the amazing years!''

She laughs handing Natalie the microphone as they all watch Chris push Brittany with a fake frown and wins as Brittany mouths a thank you, Natalie lifts the microphone up to her lips and looks at Brittany with a grin. ''Brittany.'' She starts. ''Where do I start?''

She rolls her eyes as she shrugs her shoulders with a cheeky grin and chuckles. ''You are so ready to skip all speeches huh?'' She smirks as she nods her head and winks. ''Too bad, you are amazing and everyone already knows that.''

''Let's start with the last match that made us go from second to first division.'' She continues with a soft laugh as Brittany drops her head. ''How many goals did Phoenix score that match?''

''Four!''

She looks around her nodding her head as she hears all players and fans reply in unison and chuckles. ''Four.'' She repeats with a grin. ''That was the day I knew Brittany will fight hard no matter what, she endured two tackles during that match, two harsh tackles that were meant to kick her off of the field but she powered through with ice spray and decided to deal with the pain later.''

''Brittany fought hard with the team to reach the first division and they fought hard to stay in it and that with success.'' She continues. ''I noticed the positive change in the team the second Brittany entered and I loved every single match I got to watch live because I could see how well they all work together, their interest was not the money they earned, their interest was to give our fans the time of their lives with every single match.''

''Press and Emslie were already amazing players but the second Brittany joined us, I could see that they found someone that matches their energy and doubled it.'' She breaths out chuckling. ''Every match from the first to now the last of the three of them together was a highlight, but I think we talked enough.''

She looks at the stands smiling as she notices the whole family belonging to Brittany sitting right behind the dugouts and turns to Brittany. ''There are three little boys ready to say hi to their mommy before the match starts and after the match we will have an hour or a bit longer for the ceremony.''

''Mommy!'' Brittany laughs as she hears her sons immediately yell her name the second Santana gave them the go and turns on her heels, she catches Nicolas as he jumps in her arms inwardly sighing in relief as she feels two strong hands on her back to make sure she won't stumble and reaches down to pick Oliver and Quinton up as she feels Nicolas tighten his hold around her.

She kisses their heads and nuzzles her nose in Nicolas's hair. ''Hey my little loves.'' She whispers as she feels Quinton and Oliver comfortably settle on her hip right above Nicolas's legs, she tightens her holds around them making sure to keep one hand placed under Nicolas's thigh so he won't slide down and smiles. ''I missed you.''

''We missed you too mommy.'' Nicolas murmurs as he nuzzles his face under her chin.

''Si!''

Her head snaps down as she hears Quinton and Oliver squeak in surprise and smiles proudly. ''Looks like mami's teaching is successful.'' She muses as she kisses their heads. ''I am so proud of you.'' She locks eyes with Nicolas and winks. ''Of all of you, I heard that you were the boy of the tournament.'' She murmurs proudly.

Nicolas nods his head and smiles brightly. ''It was so fun!'' He breaths out grinning, Brittany smiles crouching down as she hears the teams sprint back out knowing it's time for the short warm up and kisses their foreheads.

''Let's go back to your mami.'' She murmurs, she leads them back to the seats behind the dug out picking them up one by one so Puck and Michael can take them from her and jumps up.

''Got ya back B.'' She laughs as she feels two warm hands around her legs right after hearing Claire's voice and hangs onto the balustrade, she locks eyes with her wife and smiles lovingly.

''Hey love.'' Santana laughs quickly walking over and dips her head to kiss her softly, she rubs her red ears and smiles in amusement.

''Hey mi amor, you are ready to head home huh?'' She snickers as she nods her head and kisses her temple. ''Enjoy it mi amor, you deserve this and so much more.''

''B five more minutes.'' Brittany nods her head with a sigh and pecks Santana's lips as she hears Claire's voice, she glances at the group behind her wife and winks.

''Hey Fam.'' She reaches out and ruffles their boys heads. ''Let's kick Joanne's butt.'' She breaths out, she shoots them a wink as they all laugh and releases her hold on the balustrade. ''Let's go Ems.''

Ninety minutes later

Brittany scrambles up after she scored with a scorpion kick in the very last second and turns on her heels, she yelps stumbling back as both teams tackle her in a hug and grunts out a loud laugh as they all jump on top of her after she fell down.

''You just had to embarrass us and fill the big three huh?'' Joanne asks as she throws her a fake glare, Brittany shrugs her shoulders as she slowly sits up the second they scramble off of her and snickers.

''Play fair, fight hard no matter against who and no matter what kind of match.'' She takes Amelia's and Joanne's offered hands and hugs the both of them. ''I can't think of a better way to end my career though.'' She adds. ''Playing against friends ends it perfectly.''

She jogs back to her half as they just pat her back with a grin and smiles as the referee blows his whistle right after Joanne lamely passed the ball to one of the midfielders, she walks over to him as he turns to her and shakes his hand taking the ball from him.

''Lap of honor B.'' Amelia announces as she slides up beside her, Brittany nods her head jogging to the dugouts and throws the ball up knowing her wife will catch it. She nods her head as Press mentions for her to jog around and takes off in a slow jog smiling as everyone just cheers and claps loudly, she shakes her head in amazement as she watches several banners spread out over the fans with her face, name and number and shakes her head in amazement as she notices a bigger one with all accomplishments and the amount of goals and assists she made.

She lifts her hands as she nears the end of the round slowly jogging to the middle and slowly claps in her hands silently applauding all fans, she forms a heart with her hands smiling as they all follow her lead and slowly lowers her hands, covering her heart to silently show everyone around her how thankful she is for their support.

She jogs back to the dugouts nodding her head as Press tells her to shower with the team knowing they are setting up the stage and walks into the dugouts after blowing Santana a kiss, she follows her team into their locker room and takes off her shirt smiling as she hears the happiness in everyone's voices.

''B you ready?'' She looks up as Claire walks into the locker room fifteen minutes later and nods her head as she slips on her training jacket.

''Yeah I am.''

''Good come on, we have one more surprise for you.''

''You know I hate surprises.'' She grumbles softly as she follows Claire out onto the field, Claire pats her arm and laughs.

''You will love this one.'' She murmurs while nodding her head to the stage.

''The woman of the day joined us again ladies and gentleman!'' Press announces with a grin. ''Let's start this party of right!'' She exclaims. ''We have one song that we started to call our own, sadly the ladies singing it couldn't make it today but I think we found a perfect replacement for them.''

Sue slides up beside her former captain and places a hand on her shoulder, she mentions her hand to the side of the stage and smiles. ''Give it up for Santana Lopez, Victoria Justice, Quinn Fabray and Anna Kendrick!''

Brittany laughs as she watches her wife and friends jog onto the stage, dancing to the beat of That's my girl and smiles lovingly as she hears Quinn's voice fill the stadium. She slowly walks onto the field as everyone starts chanting her name and smiles as Tori and Anna's voices join Quinn's as they near the refrain, she speeds up as Santana holds out her hand and jogs up the steps.

She stops as Chris, Sue, Natalie and Jill turn to her, tilting her head as Chris steps forward first and blinks as she hands something around her neck. ''Don't look down yet, just walk further.'' Chris murmurs.

Brittany chuckles as Sue pulls her forward before Chris can question her and accepts the medal she hangs around her neck, she locks eyes with Jill as she hands one around her neck soon after and locks eyes with Natalie.

Natalie shakes her head as she gets ready to bow down and laughs. ''No need Britt.'' She hands her a middle size trophy and winks. ''This is all yours MVP.''

Santana smiles lovingly as they near her part and smiles lovingly as Brittany takes the flowers Quinn, Tori and Anna hand her. She licks her lips as Quinn glances at her and slightly nods her head, she laughs as Quinn twirls her over to her and wraps her arms around her wife's waist as soon as she is near her.

You've been down before
You've been hurt before
You got up before
You'll be good to go, good to go
Don't ever give up, no no
Destiny said it, you got to get up and get it
Get mad independent and don't you ever forget it
Got some dirt on your shoulder, then let me brush it off for ya
If you're feeling me, put your five high
That's my girl

She moves her hips to the music, smiling as she hears the audience cheer the second Brittany easily keeps up with her movement and hands Anne her microphone, she takes the golden medal out of the back pocket of her jeans and reaches up to hang it around Brittany's neck. ''So fucking proud of you mi amor.''

''Ladies that was phenomenal!'' They both turn to Natalie as her voice echoes around them before Brittany can reply and Santana smiles nodding her head in thanks, she waves at the crowd as they all cheer the second she asks the audience for a loud applause and locks eyes with her.

''You can stay with your wife San.'' Natalie tells her with a grin as the others walk off of the stage, she walks over to them and reaches out to pat Brittany's shoulders. ''Brittany you want to hear what you just received?''

She chuckles as Brittany nods her head and glances at Sue, Jill and Chris. ''Chris what did you give Britt?''

''Britt you received the medal player of the season from me.'' Chris tells her with a proud grin.

''You received the medal player of the tournament from me.'' Jill adds with a proud smile.

''From me you received the striker of the year medal.'' Sue continues.

''And from me you received the elite Angel trophy.'' Natalie explains. ''The trophy stands for the huge success you brought this team Brittany and I think I speak for the whole team that you will be missed dearly but just because you don't play with us, that doesn't mean that we won't see you anymore right?''

''I still have the little, the mini's and will join Chris once a week for a team meeting to go over the tactics before a match.'' Brittany reassures with a grin. ''Y'all won't get rid of me.''

''And we don't want to.'' Claire quips as she hugs her tightly from behind, she laughs as Santana just steps aside and kisses Brittany's cheek. ''You want to say something?'' She asks holding out the microphone Chris handed her, Brittany nods her head taking it from her and licks her lips looking around at the fans and both teams standing near the dugouts.

''I honestly don't know what to say.'' She starts. ''So I will steal a quote from one of the famous soccer players known world wide.'' She continues. ''David Beckham once said this is not just a game.''

''And he is right, soccer is not just a game. Soccer is finding friends, friends who spend every single day with you, friends that motivate you and friends that have your back at all times.'' She looks at the big line of women and smiles lovingly. ''The Angels and the ladies belonging to Pride will always have a special place in my heart, it was always hard to play against them but at the same time it was nice to kick their butts too.''

She laughs as Joanne covertly flips her off and smiles. ''I always had a special bond with Joanne Wild.'' She continues. ''She showed me the do's and don't on the soccer field, she was and still is the captain of Pride and everything I know is what I learned from her I just added a bit more craziness to it.''

She mentions her hand to Chris and smiles. ''The moment I transferred to the Angels, Christen Press took over and taught me lots of things too, but the most amazing thing was that she matched my energy and triggered whatever mood, whatever she and Emslie felt immediately went over to me and it was the same with my emotions.''

''So no soccer is not just a game, soccer is friendship, friendship that turned into family with some of my teammates and soccer is life.'' She breaths out. ''I can never say goodbye to soccer completely but I have to listen to my body, my body tells me that playing professional will only cause injuries so I step back but instead of quitting everything, I will just focus on coaching my son and make sure the little Angels are as successful as the big ones are and with the team I have now they definitely will be.''

''I want to thank everyone for their support though, every single match hearing all of you cheer motivated me to give more than one hundred percent every time.'' She looks around and smiles. ''I know that many of you followed me around, to National matches, to tournaments and to away matches and I want to thank every single one of you, so yes thank you and.''

She taps the medals around her neck and licks her lips. ''I would have never reached any of the success I made without your support.''

Natalie steps forward with Sue as the crowd explodes into cheers and locks eyes with Brittany. ''Britt we have one more thing for you.'' Sue announces, she holds up one of Brittany's framed shirts.

''This shirt will be a reminder of the success you had Britt.'' Natalie continues. ''I will always remind you of everything we all experienced together and.'' She steps closer to her with Sue so she can look at the shirt clearly and smiles. ''We all signed it because every single lady surrounding you right now, can't be prouder to call you our former Pride and Angel Striker.''

Brittany thanks them softly and hugs them, she turns to Chris and Claire after Amelia and Isenhour jogged over to take the shirt from her knowing they will bring everything to Santana's car and licks her lips. ''Thank you all.'' She murmurs.

''Give it up for Brittany Pierce, ladies and gentleman!''

She looks up as she hears Jill's loud voice echo around the stadium and gulps thickly as she notices everyone stand up and firework shoot up to the sky, she exhales shakily as she once again lifts her hands to clap and drops them.

She takes Santana's hand as she feels it rub her back and pinches the bridge of her nose, she nods her head as Natalie tells her that they will clear the field and jumps down the stage. She helps Santana down waving at the crowd as they walk towards the dugouts and exhales slowly as they enter the long hallway. ''I hate you all.'' She croaks out.

Chris laughs and hugs her tightly. ''We love you too B.'' she pulls back wiping away her tears and kisses her cheek. ''You deserved this Phoenix and you know it.''

''Mommm.''

''Mommy!''

''Aunt B!''

Brittany pulls out of Chris's embrace as she hears her boys and the girls call her and looks at them, she chokes out a chuckle as she reads their shirt and crouches down with a shake of her head. ''Y'all are crazy.'' She whispers as she opens her arms, she hugs the six of them and kisses their heads. ''Hey kiddos.'' She murmurs.

Nicolas giggles and shakes his head. ''No we just love you and know who you are mommy.'' He replies as he tugs on his shirt to show her the whole text. My mommy is the best soccer player and smiles as Sophia slides beside him to show her the shirt she wears. Mi Tia is the star player of the Angels.

Brittany just smiles standing up after kissing their heads once again and steps around them to hug their family, she nuzzles her face in Puck's toned chest as he hugs her last and closes her eyes as he kisses her forehead the pride clear in his voice as he whispers. ''I am so fucking proud of you sis, congrats.''

''Thank you.'' She whispers softly, she pulls back and runs her hand down her face. ''I am ready to go home.''

''We know you are.'' Sue breaths out laughing. ''Team dinner tomorrow?''

She nods her head and smiles. ''Yeah that sounds perfect.''

''Y'all are invited.'' Natalie tells everyone surrounding them. ''And leave your wallets at home, it's on the Angels and Pride.'' She locks eyes with Brittany and nods her head. ''Yes we already reserved the room at your restaurant.'' She breaths out. ''But I still don't want to see your wallet.''

Brittany chuckles and nods her head. ''I will leave it in San's purse.'' She walks around to hug everyone and smiles. ''We can talk more tomorrow, now I just need my family after being gone for a month and a half.''

''We understand, see you tomorrow B.'' Claire breaths out as she hugs her last, Brittany nods her head turning to Santana and picks Quinton up as he lifts his arms the second she reaches them. She pecks Santana's lips as she slides up beside her and follows her family through the long hallway to the parking lot with Nicolas right beside her, she looks at them as they reach their cars and smiles slightly.

''See you tomorrow?''

''You sure will, get some rest B.'' Maribel replies as everyone else just nod their heads. ''You look tired, see you tomorrow.''

Santana slides into the drivers seat before Brittany can tell her that she will drive and shoots her a grin a she sits down beside her after buckling Quinton in and promising their family to send them some pictures of all medals. ''Before you protest, you really look tired as hell and knowing you, you pulled through to grab the first flight and pass up on sleep.''

''Will I be save if I just keep my mouth shut?'' Brittany asks with a sheepish grin, Santana shakes her head and laughs.

''Thank god the boys still need their nap, please lay down with them while Nic and I make dinner for us.''

Brittany nods her head squeezing the hand she holds on her thigh and smiles. ''I will.'' She promises softly as Santana turns into their street, she glances behind her smiling as she notices their boys dancing to the soft music filtering through the speakers of Santana's car and turns back to look at her wife. ''I will lay down in the family room with them.''

She takes off her seat belt as Santana hums and slides out of the car after Santana parked it, she picks Quinton back up after unbuckling him, kissing Nicolas's head as he walks past her to open the door and chuckles as Santana immediately points to the family room silently ordering her to lay down immediately.

She walks down the hall after kicking her shoes off and enters the family room with Quinton on her hip knowing Santana will follow with Oli, she lays down on the big couch, taking Quinton's hoodie off so he won't sweat in his sleep and grunts as both boys immediately crawl on top of her.

Santana laughs as she watches them immediately nuzzle their faces in their mommy's chest and leans down to kiss their heads, she kisses Brittany softly as they lock eyes and lovingly runs her fingers through her soft, still damp blonde locks. ''We all missed you.'' She murmurs. ''The house is definitely too silent with any of us being away.'' She sits down beside her, smiling lovingly as she watches Nicolas lean over the couch to kiss his mommy's cheek and nods her head as he asks if he can pick out the music they will listen to while they cook, she turns back to Brittany as he runs off after kissing his little brother's cheeks and smiles slightly as she yawns. ''Take a nap mi amor.''

She leans down to peck her lips as she hums and tucks her in. ''Te amo.''

''I love you too Santana.'' Brittany tiredly reaches out to grab her hand after making sure Oli won't roll off of her and tugs her close. ''And thank you.'' She whispers as she tugs her down, she kisses her softly and smiles tiredly. ''I would have never imagined any of this happening without your constant support and reminders to take a break.''

''No need to thank me baby.'' Santana whispers lovingly. ''Go to sleep, we will wake you for dinner.'' She stands up as she hums softly and walks out of the family room after snapping a picture of her wife and their twins, she walks into the kitchen chuckling as she hears music from Hannah Montana filter through the speakers and ruffles Nicolas's hair as she sees him sitting at the table waiting for her.

''What will we cook mi corazón?''

''Can we make mommy's favorite?''

She opens the refrigerator and nods her head. ''Yeah we have everything here.'' She grabs the ingredients and turns to look at him after placing them on the counter. ''Alright let's make butter chicken.''

''Can we make corn bread too, mommy loves it.''

''Do you want to make it?'' She grabs everything they need for the corn bread as he nods his head and kisses his head as he joins her at the counter, she takes out the booklet with recipes Brittany wrote down and slides it over to him. ''Her recipe for the corn bread is written in here, want to try it on your own?''

She smiles as he excitedly nods his head and ruffles his hair. ''Alright let's make dinner.''
